From 688 observations 2001 Aug. 24-2004 May 14, mean residual 0".88.
The "original" and "future" barycentric values of 1/a are +0.000045
and -0.000699 (+/- 0.000001) AU^-1, respectively. A somewhat comparable
nongravitational solution, but satisfying 693 observations with mean
residual 0".80, now gives A1 = +1.24 +/- 0.07, A2 = -0.19 +/- 0.05.
